Power to the Babies!
Posted by Liza under The Real Live Boy
Noah has started doing something that I think is hilarious, but it’s a little weird and just starting to worry me. For the last 3 or 4 days, he’s been hanging out with his fist in the air. For minutes at a time. Dozens of times per day.
It could be that Noah is letting us know that, unlike Levi’s mommies, we have not been getting in his activism quota so far, and he’s not happy about it.
When he does it, Jill and I have taken to saying "Power to the People, Noah!" or depending on how funny it looks, "Power to the Babies!" (BTW, one thing I like about these pictures is they really give you a sense of what a giant baby he is.)
OK, he’s had it with being by himself. And he may need a change by now. Either that, or he’s protesting being teased about his sincere efforts on behalf of civil rights for babies.

The second picture captures the righteous fist of power perfectly.

Don’t worry, Julia does the same thing, too. Unless they’re both strange…
She has even fallen asleep with her fist in the air and then it slooooooooly drifts down.
I’m not sure why she does it, but it hasn’t done any harm yet.

He is like a little man! He is SO BIG! Is he dating yet?
He doesn’t look like he is under 3 months old. Holy cow! You are going to be spending a fortune on shoes for him! He is gonna be a tall guy!

That was my favorite picture too, S.
Julia strikes me as a fellow baby activist! When we finally meet, we’ll have to take the little ones to some kind of protest rally.
